Description As promised

Here is my very first watercolour tutorial that you've requested me.


and something I would like to say before you start

Make sure you have some tissue papers while you're working, This will helped you control the water flow, cleaning your brushes,etc.

and don't use only one water container, let's find 2-3 of them

one is for washing your brushes and one for mixed with paints.

If you use only 1 water container, the water will become muddy and give you some horrible dirty effects, ruin your precious work for all time.

And use the best quality brush you can afford.

====================
Here's the link to my 2nd watercolor tutorial.

You don't ink the picture before you paint it? you just leave it as a sketch and then go over it with ink or a dark color pencil?

Cute :3
Question I have just started using water colours i have the penicl form and i was wondering if i could ask you a couple of questions?
I was just wondering whats the best way to use the penicls colour then paint over water or my diping penicl?

Also is it better go around the picture with ink before painting or just paint?

iam sorry for this if you dont want to answer no worrys!

emperpep In reply to darkfairy282 [2011-08-05 12:58:41 +0000 UTC]

Coloring as dry media first and then adding wash to turn it into watercolor painting.

Dipping watercolor pencil into water will moisten the lead and make it easier to break

It's up to you to outlining with ink first, But I don't use it [I use colored fineline pen] because the intense black outline will destroy all the softness.

meowchi75 In reply to ??? [2011-07-24 20:11:04 +0000 UTC]

I got a question: do you have to use a blue pencil for sketching the picture before painting?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

DuskfireDream In reply to meowchi75 [2011-07-26 08:56:24 +0000 UTC]

Of course not. He likely used the blue pencil because he likes the effect it gives his art. You can use whatever color you're comfortable with. (Given, the light blue does tend to blend into the paint better than black. Black is more likely to show through.)

meowchi75 In reply to DuskfireDream [2011-07-26 16:09:05 +0000 UTC]

thanks! I asked that because I see a bunch of people do that and my friend says you have to sketch in blue, which didn't make much sense to me

Wow! you're so great at drawing I think I haven't seen anyone here using watercolours (It's also true that I'm here since some months only, and probably I saw them and I didn't realised) haha but anyway, I didn't use to give so much importance to the watercolours, I thought they were so difficult to use, and I thought people didn't use for drawing thinks like that... but well, here you have! hahaha
Well after that I think I'll try something with watercolours.

Oh. Only a few things... (I'm not English) but I think that "another" is only used when talking about plurals, and well, "helped" is past, so "can helped" should be "could help" and "will helped" -> "Will help".

starphire20 In reply to ChocoHeaven [2011-04-19 05:21:39 +0000 UTC]

that really depends on how you draw it
i made couple of marks that are not suppose to be
there but it was fine ..i have a pic that i tried on inking apparently messed up
but im going to scan onto the computer though
=^w^= nyah i would loved to help people as well
because someone ask me to teach them on how i draw
my characters basic form which i used shapes
old school for some people
